Over recent years, Rift has built a growing catalogue of releases across respected labels and imprints while establishing himself as a producer capable of moving between deeper, more introspective material and heavier club-focused productions. His work regularly explores contrast, pairing intricate melodic elements and evolving soundscapes with powerful low-end energy and detailed rhythmic structures.
Known for a thoughtful and highly considered creative process, Rift continues to push his sound forward with each release, drawing on influences from across electronic music while maintaining a clear identity within contemporary drum and bass.
